My updated list for 2014!
Looking for ways to save money at the fair? Here's my TOP 5 LIST:
#5~ PARKING
Regular parking fee: $4 at the fairgrounds
SAVE by parking for FREE at Crater High School and taking the shuttle over for $1/person (roundtrip). Of course, this is only a savings for groups of less than 4. Large family? Go ahead and park at the fairgrounds for $4/vehicle.

Parking at the fair is now FREE on FRIDAY (7/18) thanks to the Coquille Indian Tribe, and The Mill Casino
#4~ RIDE TICKETS
Regular price for ride tickets is somewhere around $1 each and you usually need between 3-5 tickets per ride, if I'm not mistaken. (We don't do a lot of rides, if any, when we go.)
SAVE by buying an all day unlimited rides wristband for the earlybird price of $25 (at the fair, it's $30), available at the fair office, Sherm's Thunderbird, or Food 4 Less. Looking to save more? Skip the rides all together! There's still plenty to see and do :)

#3~ FOOD
Fair food is a wide variety of overpriced fried "delicacies", but if you're like my family, there's that one treat you look forward to each year.
SAVE by eating a full meal at home! Keep your eyes open for the FREE water cups available to stay hydrated. And when the time comes, only buy that "must have" treat...and share it! (Not recommended for ice cream cones, if that's your thing!)

By the way, if you want French fries, the basket of fries in the food court is a HUGE amount for 4 people to share and only a couple bucks. Just grab plenty of napkins!
#2~ ADMISSION
Regular adult admission: $10 per day
*NEW THIS YEAR*Kids 12 & Under: FREE!!
Seniors (Ages 62-74): $6
Ages 75 & Over: Free
Sunday is FREE Admission for everyone!
The good news is they are offering Pre-Fair tickets fir only $9, available at the Fair Office, Food 4 Less, and Thunderbird.
For my family of 4, with only one "child", that means $27-30 right at the gate (plus the $4 to park!). If you have a larger family or plan to spend all day, this will eat up your funds real fast!
Which leads me to...

My #1 way to save money at the fair-
